    Steve Harvey Tells Young Men Not To Be Like Diddy

    Steve Harvey sends out a stern warning to young men urging them not to be like Diddy.

    The warning came during an interview Harvey did on the One on One with Kris Fade podcast. While speaking with Fade, the media personality explained how a man’s actions towards women will determine his future.

    “He’s in prison right now,” Harvey said about Diddy. “He was old enough to really get it together, but he didn’t.” He continued, “You have to practice acts of kindness. You’ve got to be a gentleman through it all. Look, man, dude’s going to have more than one chick. Okay, cool. I got that right there. But you don’t have to be abusive with it and abrasive with it.”

    Harvey went on to share his reaction to the video of Diddy physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a 2016 surveillance video. “When that video came out… You sitting going, ‘Wait a minute. Hold on, man. What you doing?’ Bro, for you to be a public figure, wrap a towel around yourself, and run down a public hallway, not knowing who’s at that elevator… and that’s your reaction to his girl?” he said.

    He continued, “So now that’s what we caught on tape. That’s the one that’s on tape. That’s the one that’s out in the public in front of the elevator. My goodness, what’s been going on when you ain’t in front of the elevator? Now you know it’s got to have been magnified back there. So now you’re just not a good person. You can’t run it like that cuz now you got to pay. And the thing about sin is: sin costs you more than you want to pay and makes you stay longer than you want to stay. And that’s what he’s in now.”

    Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty on multiple counts of violating the Mann Act. He’s serving a 50-month sentence at a federal facility in New Jersey. He was also sentenced for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, related to his “freak-offs.”

    He also talked about ever running into the disgraced mogul, “I knew him, but it was some things that I had heard about that kept me away from him,” Harvey said. “I got invited, ‘Hey man, we throwing a party.’ Nah.’ You don’t see me nowhere. I don’t go to the white party, the blue party, the pink party, the panty party. I ain’t nobody’s party. Steve Harvey is going home.”
